Top general contractors deliver world-class facilities by hiring superior talent and improving productivity, which, in turn, enhance construction productivity and competitive advantage. Yet the steps to achieve and maintain a thriving organization are a little more complex. What are the key components that make for successful projects and thriving organizations? After 20 years of studying the industry, Trimble has compiled the seven most- common habits that highly successful, best-in-class organizations deploy to boost organizational performance and yield impressive direct and soft benefits. This list was inspired by The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey and we have used that concept to come up with our own 7 Habits of Highly Effective Project Teams. Before we outline the seven common habits in depth, it's important to understand the general definition of a habit within the construction environment. To paraphrase famed leadership guru Stephen R. Covey, a habit is the intersection of knowing what to do, possessing the skills to do it, and desiring to get it done. In essence, a habit combines inspirational leadership with standard operating procedures and effective training. Best-in-class facility owners understand this dynamic very well. They realize that it takes more than mere words to achieve a successful project. They have learned that to create lasting change within their own teams—and extend that change to subcontractors, architects/engineers, and owners — they must define clear processes, train teams on how to follow them, and create a desire (incentive) for the team to want to do something differently. With that in mind, here's an inside look at the top 7 Habits of Highly Effective Project Teams. INTRODUCTION ProjectSight - Construction Project Management Software Page 1
